Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about anti - static wrist strap use:

• For the first option: An anti - static wrist strap needs to be in contact with the skin to effectively discharge static electricity from the body. This is a key principle of its operation.
• The second option is wrong. Anti - static wrist straps must be attached to a grounded object to safely discharge static.
